We've all had it happen at some point in our dating life—the drive-by dater.
Well before ghosting was given a name, we experienced the drive-by dater who left the random voicemail message, would pop in occasionally to comment on your social media status or would sporadically send you a private message just to "check in". This method of "touching base" lacked commitment and feelings, yet kept you hanging on to the relationship going nowhere.
If you are active in social media circles and in the online dating game, you have probably ran into issues with breadcrumbing—the act of sending flirtatious, but non-committal messages (breadcrumbs) that end with you never meeting the person in real life. This new social media and online dating trend is both annoying and frustrating for the person being breadcrumbed. Think of it as the new ghosting.
5 Tips for Dealing With Breadcrumbing:
Monitor the Effort
An occasional "hi" or brief message says a lot about commitment and interest. Someone wanting to get to know you will be willing to put in the time and will want to spend time with you. Brief "drop-ins" aren't what good, healthy relationships are based on. If you notice a pattern of someone agreeing to meet up, then backing out with a different excuse, it's best to get out ASAP.
Build Momentum
Is the relationship progressing? Are you speaking to each other on a more frequent basis?
A new relationship should build in intensity not just be a sporadic mess. Take a step back and realize that the person breadcrumbing you isn't getting emotionally involved, and therefore you shouldn't either. Follow this rule and don't make excuses. This is just one person in a sea of online daters, and if they're only giving you breadcrumbs when you deserve the whole loaf of bread, it's time to let go. Be good to yourself.
Make sure that you both are seeking the same type of relationship. One of you might be unsure of the other's intentions and are wanting something entirely different. Maybe your "breadcrumber" isn't interested in anything deeper. Following a trail of breadcrumbs will only keep you from finding a better match. Know the signs, follow these tips and forge your own trail.
Is it Over?
If "breadcrumbing" starts and you have been in a relationship you need to consider if this is the break-up. Again, don't make excuses as that may just prolong the pain. With today's technology being used more and more in our relationships "breadcrumbing" and "ghosting" are available options for insensitive people to cut you loose. Admit the signs to yourself and move on.
Don't blame yourself and don't follow the path. You have the right to not pick up the crumbs! Know yourself. These breadcrumbs are just to keep you in their game. Don't play into by saying something they want to hear. What kind of relationship do you want? If the communication doesn't fit your needs, it's time to move on.

Clouds of murky water near a stormwater pump at the west edge of South Beach has again alarmed residents and raised questions of the improved drainage system's impact on Biscayne Bay.
The pumps at 10th and 14th streets and West Avenue have been running since last fall, and the city's leaders championed their effectiveness when the streets stayed dry during last year's king tide. But residents have noted cloudy water near the seawall when pumps push water out into the bay.
Similar images of a black cloud circulated last December, when city officials said someone at the city forgot to turn the 10th Street pump on, storm water backed up and then a large concentration of sediment was released in the water when the pump was turned on.
In January, results from a study by scientists from Florida International University showed the thousands of gallons of drained water may be contributing to a spike in pollutants that could feed toxic algae blooms. City officials said the filtration system installed with the pumps meets environmental regulation standards, and they will continue to monitor the impact.
But folks along West Avenue have raised their eyebrows again, and as elections season heats up in Miami Beach, candidates are taking advantage of the chance to campaign.
Muddy waters
Richard Conlin, a real estate agent and personal trainer who lives in Southgate Towers at 900 West Ave., has been posting pictures and videos of the sandy-colored cloud that forms when water is pumped out at 10th Street.
Conlin said he has complained to the city for months about what he calls nasty, smelly pollution in the bay, without a satisfying response. His images were featured in a post this week by political blogger Elaine de Valle and he has posted to a Facebook group of residents called "Clean Up Miami Beach," which is run by current commission candidate Michael DeFilippi.
"It's starting to get a lot of attention now," Conlin told the Miami Herald on Thursday.
On Tuesday, City Manager Jimmy Morales sent a letter to the City Commission to discuss concerns over mounting complaints. He said the darker water is caused by pressure and gas bubbles causing sediment to rise and form temporary clouds, which could look like something worse from a distance. "Turbidity barriers" are supposed to be installed soon to limit the size of the sediment plume.
"Let me first say that at no point have we been ignoring this," he said. "For the past few days, I've had Public Works and Environmental staff out there. We will be having the water tested shortly, and we are taking interim measures like installing turbidity barriers."
Morales went out to the 10th Street pump Tuesday with public works employees, including two divers, to watch the pumps in action. He said the sediment rises while water is pumped out, and the bay water clears up once the sediment is given a chance to settle. The only debris they found in the water were small leaves and a few small plastic bags or shreds of bags that made it through the filtering system.
"No bottles, no cans or other debris," he said. "The vortex is clearly effective in catching this stuff."
Morales noted that divers did find plenty of cans and bottles further away from the outfall, closer to the docks. He said boaters and people at the marina are to blame.
Mayor Philip Levine, who has championed the pump plan, sent a letter to residents Wednesday saying the city has hired an environmental services firm to sample the water for petroleum derivatives.
The city expects results from the firm, Orlando-based E Sciences Inc., by next week.
"The City understands the our natural capital is critical to our economy and our quality of life," said Levine, who intends to run for reelection this year. "We will continue to monitor this location and the water quality of our waterways."
On Thursday, Miami Beach workers cleaned the filtering system at the 10th Street pump station and circulated pictures of heaps of plastic bottles, soda cans and other garbage that is captured by the cleaning chamber. This chamber captures garbage collected by the storm water drainage system and gets cleaned every three months.
Conlin said that in his months of watching the pumps work, he's seen polystyrene, oily water and garbage bags in the water.
"I believe it's nothing more than damage control," he said, of the city's response. "It's an election year."
Indeed, several candidates vying for commission seats quickly rushed to stump on the issue through emails and social media.
Regardless of the political jockeying, scientists are keeping a close eye on Biscayne Bay's water quality as the pumps program progresses. The Beach is pressing on with a three- to five-year plan to install around 70 pumps throughout the island at a cost of $300 to $500 million. Amid the push to keep the Beach dry from rising tides, environmental concerns abound.
Tere Florin, spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory & Economic Resources, said in an email the county is aware of the issue, and is conducting weekly inspections and working with the city.
"We have received citizen inquiries and have conducted additional inspections in response to each inquiry," she said. "While we have not witnessed the discharge, we continue to work with the City and to monitor this project."
Henry O. Briceño, the hydrologist at Florida International University who oversaw the study earlier this year and is working with other researchers and the city on sea-level rise issues, said on Thursday that while the city's filtering system catches larger objects and thicker sediments, finer particles can still make it through to cloud the water.
"They have some traps, but they do not remove all the fine particles, which are the ones that make that water look like milk," he said.
He explained that the cloudier water can hinder the sunlight needed by marine life deeper in the water, and some of those finer particles likely carry unwanted bacteria.
While the city deserves credit for keeping its streets from flooding, Briceño said, minimizing impact on the Biscayne Bay is an important challenge. And effective solutions like water treatment are not cheap.
"They are costly," he said. "That's what sea-level rise is bringing. A new normal."

1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Craig williams's Psalms Chapter 64 comment on 9/19/2016, 8:14am...
The enemy are demons. Demons are the secret council in your mind.
Thier lips and tongue are a bow and arrows words. No one knows they shoot bitter words, snare, into your thoughts. Demons encourage themselves to do evil and fear not God. They search your heart for sin. God wounds them with his Word. Now all the other demons see what happened and flee away. They declare and are fearing God now.
Annie's Psalms Chapter 64 comment on 10/30/2015, 1:33pm...
Judgment is not a choice it's a fact. My purpose in life is to bring God's light to those who want to see. Time wasted on a man who has decided to be an enemy of God is time diverted from a soul who is seeking God but needs direction. An enemy of light is not my focus; it is the soul that has flicker of light that is about to be extinguished.

I've seen those faces before.
More than I'd like to recall, I've heard the vile words coming from their lips.
I have witnessed the hatred proclaimed on their crude signs and demonstrated in their violent actions.
And I long ago grew weary of their political leaders wrapped in the rhetoric of states' rights, interposition and the almighty 10th Amendment.
Oh, I know them, no matter what name or disguise they now wear. I know them well.
They were in Little Rock in 1957 as nine black students had to be escorted by U.S. troops to enroll at Central High School.
In 1962 these angry "patriots" were there when Gov. Ross Barnett of Mississippi tried desperately to keep James Meredith from registering at Ole Miss in Oxford.
They were present that day in 1963 when Gov. George Wallace stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama to block the entrance of two black students, and the day children and adults in the streets of Birmingham came face to face with the viciousness of Jim Crow.
Again in 1964 and 1965, as the Congress passed the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts, their defiant voices were heard.
The resistance was on display in 1967 when the Supreme Court struck down laws in 17 states, including Texas, that prohibited interracial marriage.
And now they're back, in full force, with a renewed contempt for authority and a reinvigorated scorn for those they deem to be their enemies.
On the eve of the vote in the House of Representatives to pass health care reform, those voices yelled racial and anti-gay epithets at members of Congress, with one demonstrator spitting on a black congressman.
It looked eerily like a scene from 1957 Little Rock or 1963 Birmingham, but these incidents occurred on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol.
In the days after passage of the legislation, several Democratic members of Congress received death threats. Some Democratic offices were attacked by vandals.
The ugly American has reared his head again, spewing wrath at those he thinks are turning his country into a socialist nation bent on depriving him of liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
Rather than strongly admonish the contemptible speech and despicable behavior, many Republican leaders and their conservative media cheerleaders either are silent on the issue or, more sadly, make excuses rationalizing their actions.
These leaders use analogies that employ words and images that suggest violence: "bomb," "reload" and "fire," for example.
Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, on her Twitter page, listed the names of 20 Democratic House members who voted for the healthcare bill, using rifle scope cross-hairs to pinpoint their home districts on a map.
The headline for the posting said, "Don't Retreat, Instead -- RELOAD."
Some of the most disgusting language and symbols during the healthcare debate were aimed at the president of the United States, declaring him a diabolical liar whose true aim was to destroy America.
"The American people have long fuses," talk show host Glenn Beck said the day after the bill's passage. "You can walk on us, lie to us and cheat us for a long time. But our [breaking point] was yesterday."
Rush Limbaugh screamed, "We need to defeat these bastards. We need to wipe them out. Defeat the Democrats, every one of them that voted for this bill."
The political discourse in this country has been foul for some time, but since Barack Obama's election, it has become sickening.
Those who sought to defeat the healthcare bill in order to bring down this presidency -- to make it Obama's "Waterloo" -- are naturally distraught to have been out-maneuvered by a president and a party for which they have no respect.
They have every right to campaign against him and the bill as the midterm elections approach. But they should not stoop to the vulgar politics of personal verbal attacks, violence and destruction.
I've been saying this for months, although I've held little hope that things would change for the better.
The echoes and visions of the past simply will not go away.
Unmasked and undaunted, it seems the disgruntled masses will not relent as they encourage each other to remain not just angry, but bitter.
We shall continue to see their irate faces, encounter their loud, disruptive voices and endure their hatred of those who simply disagree with them.
Oh, I know them. I know them well.

This document is a guide to establishing the basic skills and knowledge requirements to safely operate F(P)SO installations and the training and competence assessment of F(P)SO personnel. It has been produced in cooperation with the Marine Safety Sub-Committee of The International Association of Oil and Gas Procedures (OGP), and is endorsed by them. It provides guidelines designed to assist F(P)SO managers in achieving and maintaining the highest practical standards of competence for F(P)SO operations Personnel.
OCIMF was formed in April 1970 in response to the growing public concern about marine pollution, particularly by oil, after the Torrey Canyon incident in 1967. In the early 1970s, a variety of anti-pollution initiatives were starting to emerge nationally, regionally and internationally, but with little coordination. Through OCIMF, the oil industry was able to play a stronger, coordinating role in response to these initiatives, making its professional expertise widely available through cooperation with governments and intergovernmental bodies.
OCIMF was granted consultative status at the IMO in 1971 and continues to present oil industry views at IMO meetings. Since then, its role has broadened to take account the changing maritime activities of its membership. Its remit now covers tankers, barges, offshore support vessels and terminals and its advice extends to issues like shipping in ice and large-scale piracy, which rarely troubled the oil industry when OCIMF was first created in the 1970s.
The current membership of OCIMF comprises 112 companies worldwide.
Today, OCIMF is widely recognised as the voice of the oil industry providing expertise in the safe and environmentally responsible transport and handling of hydrocarbons in ships and terminals and setting standards for continuous improvement. Membership is extensive and includes every oil major in the world along with the majority of National Oil Companies.
OCIMF has much to be proud of. Not only has it contributed to a substantial quantity of regulation at the IMO aimed at improving the safety of tankers and protecting the environment, but it has introduced important new guidance on pressing current issues such as piracy and Arctic shipping. With the process of introducing new Internationally-accepted regulation necessarily slow as it crosses many individual countries and jurisdictions, OCIMF is in the unique position of being able to leverage the expertise of its membership to press ahead with much needed guidance on important industry issues. This provides the means to improve practices in the membership and in the wider industry, and serves as a valuable reference for developing regulation.

Contrarian Long Trading
Another way to make a killing in the market is to do the opposite of what the panicking herd is doing. When they all panic and sell sell sell it might be time to buy buy buy. For this to work you have to do your fundamental research. You have to KNOW that this is a good company and a good stock, and that the panic sell off isn't on bad news. Usually you should wait three to four days after you find a stock that seems good but has been plummeting like Superman in a Kryptonite hailstorm, then buy. Usually on the last day it drops big you'll see a volume spike. To me, that volume spike is a buy in two days signal. This gets you in at, or near, rock bottom, and as soon as the panic wears off, your new buy will take off.
This is a long play, you can't usually call it accurately enough for a day trade. In somewhere in the range of weeks or months most of these stocks will return to their real market value (middle of the chart between highs and where you bought it). This has actually been one of my money makers over the years, It's fairly predictable, and usually works if they meet all of my criteria, but do it with a stop loss on, because one in a hundred times the herd is right, or it's an insider sell off and the $#!% is about to hit the fan.
The whole contrarian idea is that most traders are idiot momentum (mo) players, and that's part way true most of the time. The guys who made the most in the stock market this century are guys who bought after the big crashes when everybody else was scared out of the market. Buy low and sell high, that's the formula for success.
You can't beat doing your homework. You really should know and like the earnings for the last eight quarters before you buy any stock. That's hard for the number of stocks you'll have to know about to day trade, but easy for this kind of play. This is one of the few times I might put all my eggs in one basket, and not stay diversified, but to do that you have to be ABSOLUTELY SURE that your research is right and that there is nothing funny going on you don't know about like a big lawsuit or the bankruptcies that usually follow the big lawsuits.
I remember reading somewhere, a guy who said he was a contrarian to the core saying sell everything you own when the guys on the TV say the market is at its best, and mortgage the farm to buy everything you can when they are crying about a crash. It's not always true, but it is something to think about. Personally, I wouldn't advise trading on credit. I don't even use margin. That might be why I'm still in the game, because there are a couple of times I would probably have been wiped if I'd had margin calls to deal with.
Anyway, back to the point, this is the kind of stock I look for when I don't have time for Day Trading, or when my luck has been bad and I am irritated with the Day Trading Strategy. I'm not saying that Day Trading doesn't work, just that if you are burning out take a break and put you money in something you believe in while you get you confidence back. Day Trading takes a positive attitude and a love of what you are doing and everybody has bad runs where they either make bad decisions, or things just don't go right. Happy trading.

Dashi Kombu (dried kelps) is used extensively in Japanese cuisines as one of the three main ingredients needed to make dashi, a soup stock. Kombu is usually sold dried or in a dried shred called "Oboro kombu". It may also be eaten fresh as sashimi. Making kombu dashi is simple though kombu dashi powder may also be used. A strip of dried kombu in cold water is brought to a boil as the very first step of making dashi and the softened kombu is commonly eaten after cooking. It can also be sliced and used to make tsukudani, a dish that is simmered in soy sauce and mirin. And do not forget to used this dashi kombu when you make shabu shabu dish at home.
Kombu may be pickled with sweet and sour flavoring and are cut into small strips 5 or 6 centimeters long and 2 centimeters wide. These are often eaten as a snack with green tea.
It is often included when cooking beans, putatively to add nutrients and improve their digestibility.

Trompenaars (1952)
"Culture is the software of the mind"
Geert Hofstede (1928)
"In order to understand people we have to understand their way of life and approach. If we wish to convince them, we have to use their language as far as we can — not language in the narrow sense of the word, but language of the mind. Something that goes much further than that is not the appeal to logic and reason, but some kind of emotional awareness of other people."
Nehru (18891964)

Bulimia is a eating disorder characterised by episodes of binge eating and self-induced vomiting. When someone is binge eating, they can consume up to 5,000 calories in a short time.. This eating disorder works in a cycle. The person gets cravings and starts to binge eat. Then, they purge or abuse laxatives to avoid gaining weight. This is followed by feelings of guilt and shame and the person decides to go on a strict diet and the cycle continues.
Some of the symptoms of a person with bulimia include
-Scars and calluses of knuckles ( from their teeth)
-puffy cheeks
-discoloured teeth
-smell of vomit
-excessive exercise
-going to the bathroom after meals
-eating large meals but no change in weight
How does Bulimia affect your body?
-possible rupture of the esophagus from frequent vomiting
-gastric rupture – side effect of binge eating ( not common but possible)-tooth decay from the stomach acids that comes up when you vomit
Bulimia affects 1-2% of young women,many of which are between the age 13 and 17.
Treatment for Bulimia requires help from a doctor as well as therapy.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

This spring a handful of the Brighton Anglers had the chance to catch another species of fish on a fly rod. Northern Pike! Kind of crazy we live so close to Pike water and how easy it is to fish for them. We all took plenty of time to learn about their habits and when the beast time to fish for them is. We all studied a bit about when they spawn, what water temps are best for fishing, how to fish for them, what flies to use and what depths to fish at. In a whole it has been an exciting and addictive new way to fish. By far we are not experts but all of us our having fun and are hooked on trying to land a monster. Here's a few pics of our first couple of trips out.

Northern pike are ambush predators, earning them the nickname "water wolf." Often they will lie hidden around natural structure, waiting for a worthy meal to come swimming by. Then they strike with lightning-quick proficiency.

Arp to Warhol
19 November 2016
Graham Sutherland, 1903-1980
Roses. 1972/73.
Circa 1972
Original lithograph in six colours. 1972/73. Signed in pencil. Inscribed as 'Artist's Proof'. Also dedicated by Sutherland in pencil: ' For A.G. from G.S. 22.iv.73'. (See below). Total issued edition, including proofs, of 116 impressions. Drawn by Sutherland and printed at the Mourlot studio, Paris 1972/73. Issued in the series: 'Three Lithographs' by Theodorani, Milan 1974.
Note: The dedication 'A.G' refers to Arnold Goodman - Lord Goodman - who was chairman of the U.K. Arts Council from 1965 to 1972. He was a great supporter of the contemporary arts of the period and a close friend of Graham Sutherland.
Ref: Tassi - Sutherland Graphic Work no 148.
Excellent impression with brilliant colours. On pale cream wove paper. Excellent condition. Full sheet: 725 x 515mm. 28 5/8 x 20 1/4ins. Image: 665x465mm. 26 1/8 x 18 1/4ins.
Sutherland was one of the greatest and most individual 20th century British painters and his art brought together in a modern 20th century imagery two central themes of traditional British painting – the concept of a visionary ecstasy derived from landscape and religious faith.
When he was allowed, aged 18, by his father to give up his first career as a railway engineer and enroll at Goldsmiths Art College in London he was immediately guided by his tutor, the engraver Frederick Griggs, to look at etchings by Samuel Palmer. Palmer's 19th century vision of the rolling richness of the Kent landscape was a revelation and it remained central to Sutherland's artistic inspiration for the remainder of his life.
Sutherland's concept of the 'vision of landscape' was not so much inspired by a view of landscape as a whole but rather by the elements of nature – branches, rocks or foliage. This view was crystalized by visits to Pembrokeshire in Wales, first in the 1930's and 40's and then again in the 1960's. In the wild estuaries of the coast, amongst the cliffs and on the open hillsides he found objects and views which became central features of his pictures.
Sutherland converted to Catholicism in the 1920's at the time of his marriage and religious faith became the second central feature of his art. He used the elements of the landscape to allude to the central tenets of his religion. The way in which he transformed the natural objects, a fallen branch for example, into an expressive and emotional 'being' also shows how much his inspiration was allied to the concepts of the French Surrealist artists. In 1936 he exhibited in the 'International Surrealist Exhibition' in London and it was an influence that remained with him.
In 'Roses' it is very apparent how all these elements came together right through to the late period of his life – the colour and allusions to landscape, the use of the thorns and shaping of the arrangement of the roses to suggest a cross and the way that the bush forms become strange almost living fcreatures. A passionate and inspired artist of the medium of colour lithography 'Roses' is one of Sutherland's most beautiful late period prints.

15 Days To More Traffic Day #15: Mobile = 28% of Traffic and Growing. Is Your Site Ready?
Mobile = 28% of Traffic and Growing. Is Your Site Ready?
People are flocking to mobile devices in record numbers. In 2014, mobile traffic accounts for 28% of all web traffic. In 2015, many experts estimate this number will be 35% – over one third of the web. Fortunately, most many business owners are still unprepared for this big move. Their lack of readiness could be your golden opportunity.
How can you leverage the mobile revolution to your advantage – and boost your traffic as a result?
Mobile Prepared Blogs & Websites Get Mobile Readers
Imagine you're someone who only uses their mobile devices to read blogs and web content. You're a big fan of Widgets. You want to read Widget content on your way to work.
You spend a little bit of time Googling and you find four blogs on Widgets. Unfortunately, three of them don't work well on your device. It loads slowly, it scrolls slowly, the text doesn't fit your screen, and the buttons are too small to click on. You have to spend many frustrating minutes just trying to get it to work.
However, on one of the blogs, everything works perfectly. The text is easy to read, the site is easy to navigate, and the information is top notch. Which site do you think this reader will return to in the future?
Remember: 28% (and growing) of web traffic is like this reader. Mobile optimizing your site will give you a serious advantage over everyone else in your space.
How to Prepare Your Website
There are two main ways to prepare a website for mobile readership. One is to create a separate mobile domain. You often see this portrayed as "m.example.com" with the "m" as the subdomain. While this style works, it means you only create one mobile website. One website for all the different screen sizes – iPhones, iPads, Galaxies, Nexus Ones, etc. Chances are, your site won't look good on every single screen.
Instead, what most people are leaning towards now are responsive designs. These are designs that conform to the size of the screen. Meaning the website will actually rearrange itself based on the device's screen size. So your website will look perfect, whether they're on an iPhone, an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy.
Mobile Optimize Your Emails
The importance of optimizing your emails is even greater than optimizing your website. A whopping 48% of all emails are read on mobile devices. And 69% of mobile readers delete emails if they aren't optimized for mobile.
So how do you optimize for mobile devices?
First, compress your images so they load faster on 3G, 4G and LTE. Then set image sizes to conform to the screen size, rather than being a static size. You do this using the max-width:X% CSS tag.
Then, redo your links and your navigation so they're larger. They should be easy to click on with an index finger.
Finally, use either an existing responsive email template, or have a web designer design a new responsive template for you from scratch. Much like responsive web design, this will ensure that your emails look good no matter what devices they're accessed on.
Your Traffic Assignment:
Make sure your website has a responsive design. If it doesn't, consider switching templates. Check that your link text is large enough for readers to click with an index finger.
Have a mobile optimized email template created and use it with all future emails.
Final Thoughts – Where to Go From Here
Congratulations! You've finished all 15 days of our traffic series. You now know how to use SEO, blogging, social media, paid traffic and more to bring in thousands of new visitors. If you've completed all of the assignments, you should start seeing an increase in traffic, if you aren't already doing so.
Now that you understand and have practiced all of these techniques, you may want to focus your attention on just 1 to 3 strategies for now. Don't bounce around – instead, work on just a few traffic strategies until you either get results, or it becomes clear that one or more is not working. Eliminate those that are not working and move on to the next technique.
- Day #1: Getting Started
- Day #2: The High Quality Approach To Traffic
- Day #3:Drive Traffic by Piggybacking on Trending Topics
- Day #5: Improve Your User Experience – And Boost Your Traffic
- Day #6: Improve Your Site Speed for SEO and Conversions
- Day #7: Using Google Analytics to Build and Multiply Your Traffic
- Day #8: Update Your On Page SEO
- Day #11: Guest Blogging: An Effective (Yet Misunderstood) Strategy
- Day #12: Forum & Group Marketing: High Quality, Free Traffic
- Day #13: Paid Traffic, the Holy Grail of Fast Traffic Growth
- Day 14: Twitter & Facebook
Yay! And…. that's a wrap

How Horses Helped Selena Gomez Battle Anxiety and Depression
After silently struggling with anxiety and depression, Selena Gomez canceled her world tour last year to spend 90 days in a Tennessee treatment center — where she took part in a rather unusual form of therapy that involves horses.
Video of the Day
The 25-year-old singer credits equine therapy with helping her deal with her issues, and she opens up about it in a new interview with InStyle.com.
"I was in the countryside and never did my hair. I took part in equine therapy, which is so beautiful," Gomez says. "And it was hard, obviously. But I knew what my heart was saying, and I thought, 'OK, I think this has helped me become stronger for other people.'"
Equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted psychotherapy, is used to help those with mental health issues ranging from behavioral issues to substance abuse — and in Gomez's case, depression and anxiety. The sessions usually involve grooming, feeding, walking and playing games with the horses alongside a credentialed mental health professional and a qualified equine specialist.
Gomez also made the choice to cut herself off from the outside world, leaving her phone behind and focusing solely on her health.
"Everything I cared about, I stopped caring about," Gomez said. "I came out, and it felt like, 'OK, I can only go forward.' And there are still days. I go to therapy. I believe in that and talking about where you are. But I'm in a really, really healthy place."
While past research suggests that animals — pets, in particular — can have therapeutic benefits, horses are especially ideal as therapeutic companions. This is because they've evolved to be extremely sensitive to their environment, instinctively analyzing and reacting to humans' body language to see if they can be trusted, says the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association. However, once that trust is established, a horse makes for an intuitive companion and confidante.
Though equine therapy hasn't been vetted by a scientific study yet, the anecdotal evidence supporting its effectiveness is growing, especially in regard to building trust and confidence.
"[Horses] allow patients to connect to a living being without the risk of rejection or criticism," Sari Shepphird, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist in Los Angeles, explained to PsychCentral.com. "[Equine-assisted psychotherapy] makes the transition into healthy relationships less threatening."
Since leaving the treatment center, Gomez has continued to undergo therapy and says it's helped her deal with the stress of being in the public eye.
"That's what I work on in therapy the most. Because of social media, because of all the pressure that girls have, it's so difficult," Gomez says. "It's good to be connected, to see things and to get a sense of what your friends are up to. But it also allows people to think they need to look or be a certain way. I remember when I had my Disney show, I was just running around and not caring and making kids laugh. I was all over the place. And now it feels more zoomed-in — you have ugly people trying to get negative things from you, and the energy makes you feel bad about yourself. You can't help it. It's very hard to find out who you are during all that mess and pressure."
Gomez also makes the crucial point that by being open about her mental health she is setting an example to her fans (more than 124 million on Instagram alone) that there is no stigma in getting help or taking care of yourself.
Unfortunately, many other female celebrities regularly face negativity on social media as well. Here's how Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lawrence have clapped back at body shamers and bullies.
What Do YOU Think?
Have you ever tried equine therapy? If so, what did you think of it and would you recommend it? If you haven't tried it before, do you think it could be beneficial? Tell us in the comments!

I have purchased a domain name for the Revised Common Version website. From now on, you may get to the site by going to www.revisedcommonversion.com. Previously, the address was not as easy to remember and it was a bit longer. The previous address* will still work, but it is preferred that you use the new domain name. So, please update your bookmarks.
In addition to the new domain name, I will soon be shortening the book and chapter portion of URLs pointing to specific chapters. That will make it a little more convenient to type in a URL to any chapter of the RCV. I will explain this in a later blog post when that change is complete.

Binky Felstead has admitted she's so busy with her daughter India that she doesn't have time to slave away in the kitchen
Binky Felstead doesn't have time to cook now she's a mother.
The former 'Made in Chelsea' star and her boyfriend Josh 'JP' Patterson welcomed daughter India into the world seven weeks ago, and the 27-year-old beauty is grateful she's found a delivery company which keeps her supplied with healthy food so she can take the first steps towards getting her pre-pregnancy figure back.
She said: "I haven't started training but I have food delivered each morning - Fresh Fitness Food.
"I don't have time to cook at the moment. Also I can't be bothered, so that's really useful.
"Training begins next week and I'm looking forward to getting my body back so I can start wearing tighter clothes again."
However, Binky insists she isn't uncomfortable with her body at the moment because she knows any "wobbly bits" she still has will be gone soon.
She said: "I'm very happy and proud of my body. I've just had a baby so I'm not 100 per cent back to normal, but I'm not bothered about my wobbly bits - they'll go when I start working out again. I'm still very much focused on comfort - it's only been seven weeks.
"I'm easing back into things slowly. I've had almost two months off, but I'll be getting back into it next week."
One of the reasons why Binky is looking forward to getting back to the gym is the chance to get some time alone for a few hours.
She told LOOK magazine: "It's nice to get out of the house for a few hours when India is sleeping. It's good for my head. Now that she's a bit older, I don't mind leaving her with her granny for a bit longer - she's the most loved baby ever."

Senior MPs to meet with lawyers in bid to 'publicly shame' Tony Blair after Chilcot Report
A CROSS party group of senior MPs are holding a meeting with lawyers tomorrow in an effort to bring Tony Blair to book over the war in Iraq.
A cross party group of senior MPs want Tony Blair to book over the Iraq war
The meeting follows the publication of the Iraq Inquiry report, chaired by former Whitehall mandarin Sir John Chilcot, which gave a scathing assessment of the former Labour Prime Minister's role in taking Britain to war.
The report found that the war was unnecessary, not a last resort, badly planned, based on flawed intelligence which was then misrepresented and failed on all its objectives.
The options being considered at tomorrow's meeting could lead to Mr Blair being stripped of honours, barred from running for public office or even facing criminal charges in an effort to "publicly shame him".
Families of the 179 service personnel to lose their lives in the eight-year war have already made it clear they want Blair to face trial for war crimes at the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
But the Daily Express has learnt that a cross party group of Tory, Labour, SNP, Lib Dem and Plaid Cymru MPs, including Conservative former shadow Home Secretary David Davis, are also considering options in this country.
Mr Davis said the group has already ruled out impeachment because "it would be struck down by the Human Rights Act."
Under old parliamentary procedures last used in 1806, an individual can be indicted by MPs in the Commons and then tried in the House of Lords.
However, this was prior to the Law Lords being removed from the Upper Chamber and the creation of the Supreme Court.
Tory Leader of the House Chris Grayling has also dismissed calls for Parliament to impeach Tony Blair over the Iraq war, saying it is "not the job of this House" to consider taking action against individuals.
But it is understood that one option is to bring the former Prime Minister before the Commons over the accusation that he deliberately "misled the House" over the threat of weapons of mass destruction in March 2003 when he persuaded a majority of MPs to back the war.
A senior member of the group told the Express: "We are looking at all sorts of options.
"He [Blair] could be stripped of honours or barred from running for public office.
"These may be symbolic but they would be unprecedented and at least publicly shame him for what he has done."
Families of the Iraq War soldiers want Blair to be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court
He added: "Of course we would like to see him face a trial for what he has done but we need to explore the various legal options. This is why we will be holding a meeting with lawyers who are going through the [Chilcot] report."
In the Commons, the SNP spokesman Pete Wishart demanded to know what action Parliament can take to hold individuals to account for the Iraq war.
He said: "I think we must also have to start thinking of what happens beyond that and particularly what is available to hold those responsible for this disaster to account.
"The only people who have thus far lost their jobs in this whole calamity are two innocent journalists.
Chris Grayling dismissed calls for Parliament to impeach Tony Blair over the Iraq war
"And I am sure the public are appalled and sickened at listening to Tony Blair - his defiance at the report, his lack of contrition, the half-hearted meaningless apology and no recognition of the scale of this disaster."
It comes as Dr Hans Blix, who led the Iraq weapons inspections team in 2003, piled more pressure on Mr Blair saying that he ignored warnings that there was no WMD in Iraq.
Dr Blix said: "We had carried out 700 inspections at 300 sites and found none.
"Many of these (sites) had been recommended to us by British and American intelligence so we were doubtful about the 'evidence'.
Former Home Secretary stands with a cross party group in considering Blair's indictment in the UK
"I told Blair would be ridiculous for Iraq to be invaded by 250,000 troops and then find there were no WMD.
"Blair said Saddam Hussein had revived his WMD programme.
"But this was very bad judgement because the reality was he was relying on two streams of information, one from his own intelligence and the other from inspectors on the ground who were actually there. He chose to ignore that."

Two suburban Chicago brothers who robbed a bank of nearly $50,000 will serve minimal time in McHenry County Jail and receive 3 years' probation. The Chicago Tribune says prosecutors expressed anger at the penalties for Adam Cohn, 18, and Joshua Cohn, 21, saying they downplayed the seriousness of the crime and tried to cover it up by paying off friends who knew about the robbery with stolen money. "This is a criminal offense, and I have to highlight the fact that they describe it simply as a horrible day, unexplainable events," said prosecutor Donna Jo Maki, who asked for 10-year prison sentences. "This crime was not spur-of-the-moment, a childhood lark."
Judge Ward Arnold, who described the men as "stupid" and "stupider," sentenced Adam Cohn to 180 days and Joshua Cohn to 120 days in jail. The brothers pleaded guilty. Adam Cohn handed a teller a note and implied he had a weapon; he walked out with $47,340 and got in a car driven by his brother.

Posted in Press Releases on 23 July 2012
One of the sonic highlights of last year was "Crazy Clown Time", the debut album by David Lynch that was released in November on Sunday Best Recordings. Bleakly beautiful, eerie yet mesmerizing, and shot through with Lynch's inimitable, singular style, it stood apart as a unique work of art, as well as the latest, most thrilling venture from one of the most creative minds of our time.
Now, Sunday Best are not only releasing a deluxe edition of "Crazy Clown Time", but they are also releasing remixes of the scorching album opener "Pinky's Dream", a white hot stormer of a song featuring incendiary guest vocals from the one and only Karen O. TrentemÃ,ller and Visionquest tackle the remixes of "Pinky's Dream" while Sunday Best's own new signing Tythe delivers a brilliant remix of album track "Stone's Gone Up".
On the same week, a digital deluxe edition of "Crazy Clown Time" will be available, featuring not only all the remixes to date (including rare, hard to find ones by Sasha, Moby and Skream) but also exclusive bonus David Lynch tracks (not previously available on the CD) along with the much viewed/discussed video for "Crazy Clown Time", and an animated video for a track called "I Have a Radio", both directed by Lynch himself. All in all, this is an absolutely essential package that is a must have for any self-respecting fan of David Lynch and experimental music at its best.

Bangalore, Oct 3 (IANS) Within hours of Tata Motors announcing withdrawal of its Nano project from troubled Singur in West Bengal, Karnataka said a team from the company is expected in Bangalore Monday for talks on possible relocation of the small car project in the state."Two senior officials will hold talks with a Tata team, which is expected to arrive in Bangalore Monday," a spokesperson of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said Friday night.
Karnataka has offered 1,000 acres of land in Dharwad district in the north of the state for Tatas to set up the Nano plant.
Tatas already have around 900 acres of land in Dharwad, about 400 km from Bangalore, and are operating an equipment manufacturing unit.
Yeddyurappa last month told Tata Motors managing director G. Ravi Kant that "whatever land is needed for Nano will be provided".
According to Ravi Kant, since Nano is an integrated project it needs full 1,000 acres of land.
"We will consider the offer," he had said after meeting with Yeddyurappa.
The chief minister's spokesman also said that Yeddyurappa has invited Tata group chairman Ratan Tata to visit Bangalore for talks on the project.

historic site
Only went down far enough to see the waterfall. It was a hot day and the trail is rocky and dusty. If you are close by check it out but wouldn't go out of my way to see it. The elevation at the beginning is pretty steep.
karen g.
Loved it!
Great and easy short hike in the middle of the Oregonian desert. 2 hours drive from Portland. Definitely worth it.
Multiple water falls to see. Trail gets difficult at the end and just stops, but over all, beautiful location to walk.
great falls, very beautiful. Very cool old building, neat to see. We had tons of bug spray on & still eaten alive, & saw a rattle snake.
Should have read the previous review... the mosquitos were horrendous!! The Falls are gorgeous, but we didn't stay too long because the ground was burning the pads of my dogs feet, even in the dirt areas. Will be back in the fall!
***warning*** bring bug repellent there are thirsty blood sucking mosquitoes out there and they are vicious! Overall is a beautiful hike.
